Assuming the equipment was also saved so you could still play the games, and every game in existence you don’t mention gets permanently destroyed, and no new games are ever to be made.

Inspired by a video by OutsideXbox from a few years ago, I thought it would be a fun idea to see what this community would choose. You can choose to be selfish and pick games you personally want to always play, or try to figure out what games would be best chosen for humanity to save for whatever reason. I’d also love to hear why you chose your games. Do they have a special meaning to you? I want to hear your stories.

    I could only come up with three for now because it’s no small task!

    • Squarez Deluxe

    • TormentorXPunisher

    • Quake IIx

    I didn’t choose anything with crafting or making, because I can still craft and make things in real life. I chose games that provide something that I could never get anywhere else, and also games that for me are infinitely replayable. I would never pick a story driven anything because if that’s the only game I can play for the rest of my days, I don’t want to hear/play the same story 70 times, and RPG combat systems are easy to figure out and game after a while

    Squarez Deluxe to me is the greatest shape packing game ever made, it makes Tetris look like Tinker Toys idc fite me. It’s probably three decades old by now and it’s DOS freeware and I still play it. Extreme mode only, my peeps

    TormentorXPunisher is the best twin stick shooter I have ever played, and I have played hundreds of them. It has an infinite skill ceiling. I play every day and have done so for about 7 years. I was number two WR on hard mode until my protegé took me down, but I recently ascended on regular mode by 14 ranks. I’m so invested in this game I actually developed a friendly acquaintanceship with the sound engineer Joonas Turner

    Quake 2 is just a granddaddy of all amazing FPS with again, an infinite skill ceiling esp in movement. I actually enjoy the movement of Q1 better, but the mod support of Q2 and upgraded engine makes it a game that goes on forever. Team CTF, rocket arena, etc
